Music and Memories with Dr. Myra Fernandes


Music and Memories with Dr. Myra Fernandes
Popular music, and the music we heard often in our formative years, can hold memories for us, and hearing a certain tune can unlock memories we might not otherwise access on a regular basis. Today’s guest, Dr. Myra Fernandes, recently published a study with Pelin Tanberg and Ryan Yeung at the University of Waterloo that tells us even more about music and memory, and the specific relationship between the two.


Satanic Panic Revisited: 35 Years of Learning With Dr. Randy Paterson


Satanic Panic Revisited: 35 Years of Learning With Dr. Randy Paterson
It has been more than 30 years since the Satanic Panic gripped popular culture. Millions were convinced there was an epidemic of child abuse stemming from satanic beliefs and rituals. There was no evidence to support these claims. There were TV specials, arrests, prosecutions, and even convictions – all based on something that never happened. Dr Randy Paterson joins Eric to look back at this phenomenon. He draws a parallel to today’s QAnon beliefs, and points out psychology’s role not only in explaining the panic in retrospect, but in fueling the flames in the first place.
